SetsulPeripheral shenanigans aside you're essentially squezing a 4670K (emphasis on K) into 700£ PC. There is absolutely no point in doing that, this CPU is basically oversized for that budget. Without an aftermarket cooler you won't even see any benefits from the 4670K compared to the non-K because the best you could hope for is not getting thermal throttled as soon as turbo boost kicks in, not even wasting a thought about overclocking.

Even TF2's love for high per-core-performance doesn't justify your choice.

Drop the 4670K and go for a FX-6350 with a decent cooler and you still got enough money left to upgrade to a 7870, 1TB and a small SSD.

If you want the Intel/Haswell swag really bad and you are willing to sacrifice overclocking then go for a cheaper i5, something like the 4430 or the 4570.

Head over to http://www.logicalincrements.com/ for some basic suggestion or to

I'm looking to get a 120Hz monitor to go with this but I don't want to go over £930 I was thinking about a BenQ XL2411T instead of the monitor listed but if I get that then I have to lose £50 on something else. What do you think I should get rid of or downgrade to do that and is there anything in the list that is horrendously bad and I should change?

(Note: if something on the list says it's already purchased then it means I will get it from a site not listed on pc part picker)

#202 The 120Hz Monitor Thread in Hardware

For some reason the ASUS VG248QE is much more expensive in european sellers than US ones, and when I try have a look at getting it shipped internationally it says it will cost $100+ to send it from the US to Britain(wat) Does anyone in Europe have a place I can get this monitor for <£190 (~220 euros) or if not then can anyone recommend a 120Hz monitor I can buy for that much.

kuzaI think there should also be less "live" streams. Since pauses and live streaming comes with a few pitfalls. If they would do the cast, then cut it all together with nice camera angles, slow downs and some prep time to go over what's going to be discussed it would make for a much better production.

I really don't think this is a good idea, one of the main reasons that I watch TF2 matches is the fact that what is on the screen is happening right now and that just adds to tension of close matches. At the end of the ETF2L highlander final last season when DAROUTOUTOU had almost pushed the cart to the final point and with 16 seconds to go TviQ went huge and almost stopped the push I was going crazy to see if SNSD could actually be beaten. Because I was seeing it live it was so much more exciting, I never feel like that when I'm watching a post produced vod and I can rarely watch a full match after it has happened. The interaction with the casters in the chat also makes the games much more interesting to me.

I couldn't play music through the default windows media player after I installed this, it didn't shut down when I told it to go away so I uninstalled it and now the sound is back.

#50 5cp vs KOTH vs A/D: Map Variety Discussion in TF2 General Discussion
trogLKincheloetrogAlso have people tried playing lakeside or that asian looking one (koth_kong?) in 6s? I know lakeside is played in HL, although I haven't really played it so I don't know how good it is.
koth_king has a balance issue with several medpacks not synched in terms of size. It's also a very noisy environment, most of the buildings have a wacky set of clipping bits and heavily favors explosive classes for traps.

And Lakeside is a bit too open for 6s unfortunately.
Yeah lakeside seems pretty bad, but I didn't really see too much wrong with koth_king aside from the textures (which could be fixed in a pro version).

Koth King is very defender orientated,I'd suggest making it cap quickly and shortening the attacker spawn times to make it easier to push on to

#14 ESA Opening Tournament in News
CanFoThanks, this was an awesome day! I am sure the semi final between broder and zaibatsu will be used as a reference for an intense match for a long time.

Big up to the casting crews of VanillaTV and TeamFortress.TV for covering the whole day!

The first ESA rankings are now up here: https://esagamer.com/teams/ranked
Not all teams have a ranking yet, they need to play more matches first.

Not sure how accurate that is, solar are ranked as low :l
